What's the FPR setting 60?

Kyle Webb told me he tuned his PTE 99 to 52 (at 15 degrees on the wheel). I too am running my SM as a PTE in E3 and would like to know other opinions.

I'm not running a RP, I thought it would be close to original.

Right, no RP. He's running 52/15 with no plate.

How much of a gain do you see from the FPR in SM trim? Is it worth the 2 points you're giving up in PTE?

I was going to run the FPR, just thought it was set differently.

I'll bring this back

2 * FPR
3 * Comp, torsen, or viscous diff
2 * Modified Exhaust
1 * Catalytic Converter removal
3 * Struts
2 * Coil Springs
2 * Sway Bars
7 RA1 tires
-7 for 205

Not running
3 * R Chin spoiler, Air dam (can't find one) 99 OEM chin
Running stock Air Box.

Slotted timing wheel??

How do these numbers look? Fine right?

Timing is one of the free mods. Why not run a 10pt tire?

I'm leaving a lot on the table.

I really need to make up my mind what club/class I want to run in and stick with it.

Running NASA this weekend E3 but not changing my SCCA weight at 2450 down because I'm too cheap/poor to pay to get corner weighted and the then change back for SCCA next weekend. I'm buying radios.

It would be so much easier if I were rich.
Like the saying goes "My drinking buddies think I have a racing problem"

If you run your bottom lip spoiler on the front it is +3 no matter what, the base model comes with none!

If you want to be fast you run SM6 hooisers! they end up being +3


You will also burn more fuel so take that into account before the race begins I figured if I remeber right now 1.25 galons for every 10 minutes. and I came up short on what I thought I would come off the track at weight wise. I was still legal at arace end but I had only 2 pounds to give and wanted 7 to be safe. so I burned about .75 gal. that I had not anticipated. I think the right number is 1.5 gal per every 10 minutes but that is still a work in progress since I am new to this whole PTE thing.

Johnny D:

I have it from two reputable sources (and Kyle Webb ) that you can run whatever FP you normally run with the RP.

[Johnny D]

Thanks, Kyle B.

THE "Kyle Webb"... The man, the myth, the legend.???

Yes, I'm hearing the same as well.
The MPG is good to know. (minute)

Maybe rain Sat, Sun looks like a pretty good chance.
Should be fun, none the less.
